“He gifted the Queen to myself knowing I have no intention of ever selling it. I will never sell it, It’s not mine to sell. I legally own it, but I feel morally obligated to protect it for the citizens of Manitoba, the people of Winnipeg, the Jets die-hard fans,” he said.

The portrait is only brought out for very special occasions as D’Errico feels it’s good luck.

“I’m going to do everything I can to always bring it out when Winnipeg needs it most. For Whiteout parties, and anything to promote the Winnipeg Jets..just to help give them a nudge and extra support for citizens of Winnipeg,” he added.

The queen will make an appearance if the Jets make it to the second round.
